Guest felixpapalardi Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Had my HD for about about a month now and love it but: I had GPS working well and could see the satellites on the concentric circles using both TomTom and HTC GPS Tool and then get a GPS fix. After a month all the satellites disappeared from the circles when using both pieces of software. I tried a soft reset which did nothing, then tried a hard reset and after reinstalling tomtom and htc gps tool I could see all the satellites on the circles and get a fix without a problem. It has now stopped working again. I have ROM version 1.14.405.3. With both pieces of software I am using COM4 and baudrate 4800. Anyone no how to fix this or has had the same problem? Would really appreciate some help. I have noticed that when its not working and I run HTC GPS tool and open the COM4 port the text displayed in the box is completely different to the text displayed when it is working.

Guest felixpapalardi Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Right, I tried the program GPS test and I get the message ''starting GPS" with a yellow dot next to it. I think for some reason the GPS is not starting properly, maybe its because of a piece of software I installed although I tested the GPS after every installation I made and it worked and then suddenly it stopped. I got fed up again and did another hard reset, installed only TomTom 7.910 and it is now working perfectly again. I think I wont install anymore software for the time being and then see how long the GPS lasts for this time. so effectively I have an expensive navigation system at the moment. Don't think I'll last long before I get bored and start installing stuff again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
